    Tipped nails
    Viki R.

    I've been to a lot of nail salons over the years and this was by far one of the best experiences and services I've ever received. I walked in and they started my nails right away. Extremely friendly and they did an amazing job. If I could give them more than five stars I would. I wish I lived closer so they could do my nails every time.

    Made a 10am appointment, wasn't seen until 10:30am. Manicure was terrible. Didn't even stick around for the pedicure. The employees were nice but the quality just wasn't there for me.

    Never been taken better care of!!!! I cannot speak highly enough of lovely nails! They always make time in their schedule and have reasonable prices. They take the time to make sure you actually like your nails and do not skimp on quality! I will never go to another place for my nails, not to mention how personable the owners are. They remember their costumers and genuinely want you to look good. Supporting small businesses starts here!

    Lovely nails in sea side was absolutely amazing I can't say enough about them !!

    I am extremely IMPRESSED!!! I wish I would have discovered Lovely Nails sooner. Everyone is so kind and experienced. The lovely gentleman and wife are so artistic and fast! The facility is clean and they are very professional. I got a gel mani and pedi and it was divine !! They have mood changing colors and wonderful hand foot massage. It's a must try! So worth it.

    Love this place!! Definitely the best spot in Monterey. The husband & wife who work there are so nice & do amazing work. Extremelyyy low prices. Will be coming back here often!!

    Needed a quick mani pedi. The guy and his wife are funny and very fast. Loved my gel nails and pedicure.

    This is an overdue review for my experience back years ago when I had lived in Monterey & worked…read moreover at Ryan Ranch. This is one of my favorite nail spots to date! I've come back a few times since visiting the area and love the quality, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff! I've been to several spots in the Monterey county area this salon was the best by far!

    I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done…read moretoday for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me. Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view. As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music. They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.

    I chose this salon because it was nearby and I needed a gel manicure ASAP. I called ahead and was…read morehappy that they were able to take me right away. When I arrived, there was only one other customer in the salon getting a pedicure. I was told to have a seat and wait for my nail technician. When she came out from the back and sat down, she immediately got to work. Unfortunately, she wasn't very friendly or welcoming and didn't even say hello, which I think is a pretty basic part of customer service. I told her what I wanted, and she got started. She was strictly business, no small talk, no effort to make me feel comfortable, just work, work, work. In fact, it was probably the fastest manicure I've ever had. What surprised me most was that there were none of the finishing touches I've come to expect from a manicure. There was no hand rinse at the end to remove the nail dust and debris, no hand massage. She did ask if I wanted lotion or cuticle oil, but it felt more like an obligation than a genuine offer. Since my hands were still covered with filing dust, I declined the lotion and oil because I would have preferred to wash my hands first. The gel manicure itself turned out fine, but the overall experience felt rushed and impersonal. I paid and left without feeling like much care had been put into the customer experience. It's been about a month now and my nails have not chipped, they're still going so that's a plus.

    Came in for an impromptu pedicure for 3 people, and of all salons within a 5-10 mile radius refused…read moreto take us. However, Classy Nails squeezed us in! During the time we were getting our pedicures, multiple parties came by for a drop in appointment. Because they were busy, they let the customers know honestly or gave them a time to come back. Despite feeling rushed, the workers actually did not rush and provided quality care!! My nails, even 2 months later, are STILL looking good! No chipping or flaking at all! Just natural growth. Would definitely be back here if I'm in the area!
